Abstract

The context-aware translation system of this invention includes: a three-dimensional environment perception module for generating scene context, tone parameters, and cultural adaptation parameters based on environmental data, dialogue metadata, speech paralinguistics, and nonverbal cues from multimodal input signals; a dynamic strategy combination module for generating the optimal translation version based on the original speech, dialogue metadata, speech paralinguistics, and nonverbal cues, as well as the scene context, tone parameters, and cultural adaptation parameters; and a self-optimizing feedback closed-loop module for generating feedback information based on dialogue metadata, speech paralinguistics, and nonverbal cues, scene context, and the optimal translation version, to feed back to the three-dimensional environment perception module and the dynamic strategy combination module. This invention also discloses a context-aware translation method and a computer program product.
